The Nineties rock ‘n’ roll celebrations at sea, Summer Of ’99 Cruise and Summer Of ’99 and Beyond Cruise launched the first-ever artist-branded event franchise in Sixthman history to completely sell out two separate voyages. Following the historic announcement and immediate sell-out of week one, Creed unveiled a second week to a similarly unprecedented response, with all reservations booked within an hour of the public on sale.
Both Summer Of ’99 Cruise and Summer Of ’99 And Beyond Cruise saw Creed – comprised of Scott Stapp, Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall, and Scott Phillips – reuniting for the first time since 2012 for two unique live performances under the Caribbean stars on the famed Pool Deck stage. Summer of ’99 Cruise will showcase an explosive lineup that includes very special guest 3 Doors Down alongside a stacked all-star bill featuring Buckcherry, Tonic, Vertical Horizon, Fuel, The Verve Pipe, Tantric, Dishwalla, Louise Post (of Veruca Salt), Nine Days, and Sugar: The Nu-Metal Party. Summer Of ’99 And Beyond Cruise will then boast its own incredible bill, featuring very special guest Daughtry alongside an all-star lineup that includes Buckcherry, Tonic, Vertical Horizon, Fuel, The Verve Pipe, Tantric, Louise Post (of Veruca Salt), Nine Days, Jimmie’s Chicken Shack and Sugar: The Nu-Metal Party.
Both voyages were hosted by Eddie Trunk and the stars of The Power Hour (Matt Pinfield, Caity Babs, and Josh Bernstein and featured an exclusive live Q&A with Creed open to all guests, activities with bands, and podcast hosts, panels, autograph sessions, and a very special Y2K Countdown theme party.
